Chicago — There Is as much national danger In too much
science at the expense of liberal arts as there Is of too much
liberal arts at the expense of science, a leading technological
educator said here today (Jan. 6),
We will gain little if we enrich one field and improvish
the other areas of human activity, said Dr. John T. Rettaliata,
president of Illinois Institute ox Technology,
Speaking at a luncheon in the Hotel Sheraton during dedication
ceremonies of Western Electric Co.'s Chicago Graduate Engineering
Training Center, Rettaliata pointed out that we still need a
balanced education,
"Let us not allow the Sputnik scare to cause an over-emphasis
of science, or turn in panic to hasty expedients of crash programs
which, while promising immediate advantage, weaken our long-range
endeavor," he said,
"Higher education," Rettaliata said, "should strive to
develop individuals of the kind described by the mathematician and
philosopher, Albert North Whitehead — 'men who posses both culture
and expert knowledge',"
Technological education already is operating on such a
basis, Rettaliata said. When liberal education follows suit, the
emerging synthesis will demonstrate that science and liberal
education are complementary rather than conflictive,

The Russian chnllenge, he noted, points up the cardinal role
of scientific and technological education in today's world. He
pointed out four areas in which the nation can strive to meet
this challenge:
— Increase public understanding of the importance of science
and engineering to the extent that the dedicated men and women
engaged in this work are adequately rewarded,
— Strengthen college and high school curricula to provide
the knowledge of science and technology necessary to proper
education in our technological civilization.
— Reward careers in teaching, both in salaries and prestige,
— Encourage and guide promising and gifted students.
There should be no quarrel between liberal arts and
scientific and engineering education, the Illinois Tech president
said. Technological education, like other courses of study, needs
to be continually reviewed in the light of changing conditions
In the social and economic structure,
"Thoughtful leaders in these fields concur that the broadly
educated individual is the better equipped to serve the community
and the nation."
The task before us is to apply positive remedial action,
to meet the challenges of higher requirements in the Russian
educational system, Rettaliata said.
"We must recognize that our future progress, our high
standard of living and, in fact, our very survival, depend on
our scientific and technological competence, and that a proper
high school curriculum for future engineers is a major factor in
its maintenance."

For such a curriculum, Rettaliata recommended at least
three years of mathematics, two of science, three of English,
and one of history.
Industry is in a strategic position to assist the nation
in producing more and better engineers, Rettaliata charged. Its
cooperation with the educational program is beneficial to both
industry and education, for it is upon the educational institutions
that industry must depend for development of qualified personnel,
"The growing emphasis on research and the increasing
complexity of our technology, will require continuous advances
in engineering education to improve the special skills required
in industry and stimulate creative abilities,"

Dr. Robert Worth Frank, Jr., associate professor of English
at Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, is the author
of a new scholarly work released in December,
The book, "'Piers Plowman* and the Scheme of Salvation,"
challenges current widely-accepted interpretations of the
important 14th century English poem "Piers Plowman,"
according to the Yale University Press, New Haven, Conn.,
publisher.
Primarily of interest to English scholars, the book
also is intended to serve as a guide to the poem, explained
Frank. Explanations of difficult passages have been included.
Frank reopens the question of the poem*s basic meaning,
and offers a completely new interpretation of its puzzling last
section.
Frank received his bachelor of arts degree from Wabash
College, his master's degree from Columbia University, and his
Ph.D. from Yale University.
He has taught at Lafayette College, the University of
Rochester, Princeton University, and Northwestern University.
Frank, his wife, and two children live at 933 Hinman
Ave., Evanston, 111.

SPECIAL MONTHLY NEWS PACKET
Chicago— Outside employment has a definite effect on college
students' grades.
Students working more than 12 hours a week have somewhat
lower grades than those working fewer hours or not at all, it was
revealed in a survey conducted at Illinois Institute of Technology.
More than one hundred students, representing a cross-section
of the student body at Illinois Tech, reported their work activity
for a typical one-week period in the school year, according to
William D, Diemer, IIT mechanics instructor, who made the survey,
"Half of the employed students surveyed work more than 12
hours a week," Diemer pointed out, "and one-fourth of them put in
more than 20 hours a week in outside employment."
Thirty-five per cent of these students were employed from
four to 40 hours a week, or an average of 15 hours, he said. The
proportion of working students among seniors was 50 per cent,
slightly higher than the 30 per cent figure for employed
underclassmen ,
"Presumably, the student who is working a greater number
of hours each week does not carry as heavy an academic program,"
commented Diemer. "Although the data shows that this is true,
the difference is slight."

student work survey — add 1
A light class load — 11 to 15 hours — was carried by one-fourth
of all students who did not work and by 34 per cent of students who
did. Half of the students who are not employed and 60 per cent
of employed students carried a medium class load of 16 to 18
hours. Only six per cent of the employed students and 25 per cent
of the others carried a heavy class load of 19 to 21 hours.
Does a student have to be extra intelligent to work his
way through college?
According to the survey, students working more than 20
hours each week had significantly higher scores on college entrance
examinations than those who worked less or not at all. However,
students working fewer than 20 hours per week have slightly lower
intelligence test scores than non-working students.
"As might be expected," said Dlemer, "the more time a student
spent on outside employment, the less time he spent in study during
the weeko"
Students working more than 12 hours a week spent an average
of 20 hours a week in study, while those working less than 12 hours
or not working at all spent an average of 28 hours a week in study.
"It was interesting to note," Diemer added, "that as the
student increased working time, he did not correspondingly decrease
study time, but, in a wider sense, simply worked longer."

Chicago — The hazzards of driving in fog, rain, snow, and
darkness could be greatly reduced by means of a small radio device
behind the grill of your car.
This is the opinion of Richard B, Schulz, program development
coordinator in the electrical engineering department at Armour
Research Foundation of Illinois Institute of Technology.
Schulz believes that the nation's highway toll could be cut
considerably by means of a "proximity warning device" which would
let the driver know of approaching vehicles out of his range of
vision.
The device he envisions in the current issue of Armour
Research Foundation's quarterly scientific magazine, "The Frontier,"
would consist of a small radio transmitter and a receiver, each
in a package the size of a cigar box.
Projecting from each package would be a special ferrite
antenna array. These assemblies would be mounted immediately
behind the front grill work of the car with the ferrite cores
projecting forward.
Connected to this device would be a large red light or
a buzzer on the dashboard, to warn the driver of an approaching
vehicle.

Warning device — add 1
As an added safety factor, a device could be arranged to
actuate the indicator in case of failure in operation of either
the transmitter or receiver, making it "fail-safe„"
In quantity production, Schulz pointed out, the cost of
the device should be less than that of a conventional automobile
receiver o
Equipment for the proposed device should be relatively
uncomplicated. It would employ a principle arising from a well-knov/ii
form of communication which unitilizes an indiction field,
Schulz said.
This low radio frequency field contains energy which
emanates from the source — generally some form of antenna — but
soon returns to that source without permanently escaping in a
manner that a normal radio signal is transmitted, he explained.
"One property of the induction field is that the average
reactive power flow per unit area varies inversely as both the
frequency and the fifth power of the distance. By choosing the
proper power, radio frequency, and emanating circuit, it is
possible to provide for use of this signal in communications over
some well-defined range of distance,"
Another property of induction field energy is that it can
be reflected in much the same manner as a radiated radio signal,
Schulz said. The warning device would use the reflection
properties of such a signal, but in a way quite different from
conventional radar equipment.

"Previous experience with induction field equipment
utilized for short range communication indicates it is feasible
to have such a setup operate effectively over a distance of 100
feet, or approximately six car lengths," he said.
"While this distance is not great, it should prove
a very decided help to a motorist in fog,"
Schulz believes that the warning device would be especially
useful in foggy conditions along turnpilses,
"It may prove convenient for turnpike authorities to
issue attachable units to entering vehicles and to have the
motorists surrender them at the toll booth exit," he said.

Would-be space travelers can learn more about their favorite
topic in a new course starting Monday (Jan. 13) at the Lawson
YMCA .
The course, "Fundamentals of Space Travel," will be the
first such series ever offered to the U.S. public, according to
C. Charles Miesse, supervisor of combustion research at Armour
Research Foundation of Illinois Institute of Technology, under
whose direction the program was arranged.
Included will be objectives, problems, and basic physical
laws of space travel, presented by a group of scientists composed
chiefly of Foundation staff members, Miesse said.
The series, to start at 6:20 p.m. in the YMCA building at
30 W. Chicago Ave,, will cover such topics as why a satellite

Preparation of the third volume of "The Bibliography of
Ozone"— the only comprehensive treatise in the field of ozone
technology since 1916 — was started this month at Armour Research
Foundation of Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago.
The volume will deal with the inorganic and organic reactions
and chemical kinetics of ozone, according to Clark G. Thorp,
manager of the Foundation's chemistry and chemical engineering
research department .
Five Foundation authors will participate in preparing the
volume: Dr. J. R. Callaway Brown, scientific advisor, Richard H.
Crouse, senior scientist, Dr. Morton J. Klein, assistant supervisor
of propellant research. Dr. Donald E. Laskowski, supervisor of
organic research, and C. E. Thorp.
Thorp expects the bibliography to be available by December.
The Foundation has received many requests for the volume,
he said, after publication of Volume I, dealing with analytical
procedures, in 1954, and Volume II, dealing with physical and
pharmacological properties, in 1955.
A number of the requests have been from Russia, he added,
indicating Soviet scientists are continuing ozone research taken
over from the Germans. Some sources believe they are now in
production use of ozone with manned rocket bombers and probably
satellite rockets, Thorp said.

effective against hiiman tumors.
Compounds will be provided or authorized by the CCNSC,
Ehrlich said. The Foundation will provide laboratories, and
a team of scientists led by Dr. Sidney Mittler, research
biologist.
While performing the research, the scientists also will
work on development of new methods for evaluating anticancer
agents, Ehrlich said.
Specifically, the studies will test the effectiveness of
both organic synthetic materials and antibiotic culture filtrates
against tumors sarcoma 180, carcinoma 755, and leukemia 1210.
About 120,000 mice will be used in making the studies,
according to Ehrlich.

LaPorte, Ind,— Our future way of life, and perhaps our
▼•ry existence, denand action on more and more complex research and
techBol<^y today, a research executive said here today (Feb. 3).
Dr. Christopher B. Barthel Jr., assistant director of
Armour liesearch Foundation of Illinois Institute of Technology,
Chicago, told the LaPorte Kotary Club that research is every man*s
business and must be accepted as a challenge by all who are
interested in the future of our country.
"In a decade," Barthel said, "Russia has developed a
technology and a team of scientists and engineers that, in certain
areas, matches or even surpasses our own."
At the same time, he pointed out, our own research and technology
IMS expanded and given us a way of life umdurpassed in this or
any other civilization.
However, Barthel said, the same period has accentuated
obstacles in the path of research and technology.
To remove the obstacles, Barthel called upon everyone —
business and industry, taxppyers, educators, political leaders,
government officials, and fathers and mothers of young people^-to

An average of 66.1 tons of dust per square mile settled
on the city during December, according to Samuel Radner,
research chemical engineer at Armour Research Foundation of
Illinois Institute of Technology,
The over-all city reading of 66,1 tons for December was
higher than both November, with 52,5 tons, and the previous
December, with 45,7 tons, Radner pointed out.
Increases were reflected throughout the city, with
only three of the 25 dustfall stations recording slight
decreases over November — those at 825 E. 44th St., 1362 E, 59th
St,, and 1340 W. Monroe St,
In the dustfall content, greatest increases were noted
in the amount of combustible material, Radner said, mainly
bitumenous or tarry items which were more than double what they
were in November, Sources of these are generally heating units
and automobiles, he said.
The station at 7350 Pratt Blvd, recorded the city's
lowest reading for the month, with an average of 24,7 tons

Science and technology provide the means to help man fulfill
his spiritual needs, a leader in engineering education declared
last night (Feb. 2) at the Chicago Sunday Evening Club.
Dr. John T. Rettaliata, president of Illinois Institute of
Technology, speaking on "Sputnik, Science and Humanity," said
scientific advances are steadily "moving considerations of good and
evil to a top place in the thoughts of men everywhere on the globe."
Explaining that the atomic bomb has vastly widened the choice
of good or evil, the educator expressed the opinion that decision
to use atomic knowledge for destructive purposes is about to become
virtually impossible.
"I think this is becoming increasingly evident, even behind
the Iron Curtain," he added.
Rettaliata enumerated material accomplishments of science
and technology which, he said, have contributed to a fuller life
and provided the means for intellectual attainments.
Science and technology, the Illinois Tech president said,
are rapidly creating a new economic order in America, with profound
social changes.
The abundant production resulting from science and technology,
by bringing more material comforts to more people, has done more
"to reduce the festers of class hate and class envy, and to obliterate
class distinctions than all the labors of the world's Utopian and
socialist dreamers," he declared.
1/30/58 -more-
Rettaliata address — add 1
"It has always seemed to me that socialism consists essentially
of a leveling down process. Science and technology are
showing us how all men may be leveled up," he added.
Among other human gains mentioned by Rettaliata as having
resulted from advances in science and technology were:
— Revolutionary increases in the number of people owning
stock in American industry, currently more than 15,000,000, which
are leading to the creation of a "popular capitalism."
— Higher education within the reach of all who seek it.
— Greater freedom of movement, with resultant broadening of
minds and spiritual conceptions.
— Widened artistic conception and art in the homes, offices,
factories, and articles of everyday use.
— More leisure for creative pursuits as well as entertainment.
— Virtual prevention of social and economic stagnation.
— Vastly broadened choice of occupations resulting from the
creation of new industries, new products, processes and techniques.
— Creation of wealth which supports philanthropies totaling
more than $6 billion annually and supports churches, museums,
libraries and means of intellectual and cultural advancements.
Science and technology also create the means to protect
America's religious and political freedoms, Rettaliata added.
Concerning Russia's sputnik, Rettaliata pointed out that an
artificial satellite circling the earth does not in itself imperil
national security, but warned that there is a threat to America
in a rapidly advancing technology "under a Godless regime that is
committed to a program of world domination."
Rettaliata address — add 2
He said this is a challenge that American science and
technology must answer.
He expressed belief in the eventual easing of international
tensions, however, and added:
"As the world slowly rights itself again in the years ahead
through the efforts of right-thinking and competent individuals,
I see an increasing measure of spiritual consequences flowing from
scientific well-springs.
Science assures us of boundless increase for the future. It
holds the promise of the good life for all. It gives us the means
to fulfill man's deepest ideals."

Chicago — Analytical chemistry and statistics have joined
forces in the battle against the false branding of motor oils.
A new analytical method makes it possible for the first
time to tell the difference between virgin and reclaimed oils.
The method was developed by Armour Research Foundation
of Illinois Institute of Technology under sponsorship by the
Pennsylvania Grade Crude Oil Association with both member and
non-member support.
Up to now, no consistent differences in chemical properties
of the two oils have been found to permit development of a
procedure to identify them.
In a new approach to the problem, Foundation scientists have
dxot infrared rays through the oils and found statistical differences
sufficient to provide identification of one from the other,
according to Clark E, Thorp, manager of the chemistry and
chemical engineering department .
"The effectiveness of the method," said Andrew Ungar,
operations analyst at ARF, "is due primarily to the fact that
virgin oils are refined from a single or small number of crudes.
The reclaimed oils have a very diverse origin.
"The difference in complexity of the two groups results in
statistical properties which can be used as a means of discriminating
between them."
ILED:

Oil test—add 1
During recent years, Ungar pointed out, the armed forces,
as well as many large bus, truck, and taxlcab operators, have
found it economical to reclaim used motor oil. This practice has
spread to the collection, reclamation, and sale of crankcase
drainings from service stations.
"Many lubricating oil processing plants throughout the
country now use at least some reclaimed oil in their base stock,"
said Ungar, adding:
"Since this practice seems certain to continue, perhaps
even on a larger scale, a method to distinguish virgin oils from
reclaimed is desirable as a protection against possible
misrepresentation. "
In the Fovindation's method, statistical analysis of the
infrared spectra of both virgin and reclaimed oils reveals a
differentiation, Ungar pointed out.
This is due to the fact that reclaimed oils are composites,
so diverse in origin that they display, in a statistical sense,
average properties.
In other words, he said, the infrared method detects the
multiplicity of crude sources in the reclaimed oil, in contrast
with the single or small number of crude sources of the
virgin oil.

Chicago — What does Russia have that we don't have?
Women engineers, for one thing.
"Over a quarter of Russia's technological personnel are
women," said Dr. Frank D, Carvin, director of the mechanical
engineering department at Illinois Institute of Technology,
"Our percentage of women engineers is infinitesimal in comparison.
"There is no reason why women scientists, technicians,
and engineers in the United States cannot step in to help fill
the gap caused by our long-range shortage of engineers."
Assistant professor Lois Graham, past president of the
Society of Women Engineers, teaches both men and women in
mechanical engineering — a field where thermodynamics and heat
power meet fluid mechanics and metallurgy.
"The very fact that women engineers are being offered the
same high salaries as men engineers shows that we finally arc
coming into our own in what for years has been considered a man's
field," Miss Graham said.
Carvin concurred. "It has been my experience that women in
engineering are not the objects of discrimination. They are
rewarded on the basis of their experience and the work they do."

Women engineers — add 1
The myth of high female employee turnover has been
shattered by a Department of Labor survey which shows that
professional women have an excellent job tenure record — and they are
more reliable than men in keeping sick time to a minimum, said
Miss Graham.
"A woman's viewpoint on such things as designing home
appliances might be better than a laboratory-bound male's,"
Carvin pointed out.
"What's more, women engineers can combine a family and a
profession by doing engineering consulting at home," added Miss
Graham .
Men don't resent working under a woman's supervision. Both
Carvin and Miss Graham can cite many examples of female engineers
who are now running their own factories — 'and doing well.
Miss Graham is confident enough of the woman's place in
engineering that she is going ahead to obtain a Ph.D.

Chicago — Plastic, the war baby of 15 years ago, is an
industrial giant today — and it's still growing.
No other field of chemistry can claim more flux, development,
or progress, according to ErikR. Nielsen, scientific advisor at
Armour Research Foundation of Illinois Institute of Technology,
But ramifications of the plastics wonderworld go far beyond
the field of cheraistry — into building, steel, glass, ceramic,
rubber, textile, lumber, and many other industries.
With the amazing development that has transpired since
World War II, Nielsen added, it is likely that the future will
bring wonders in plastic not even considered today. The
advent of new methods for making polymers, led by Ziegler in
Germany, and Natti in Italy, is rapidly making available a growing
family of new types of plastics, he said.
In home applications alone, contemplated uses of plastics
Indicate that they will find their way out of the kitchen and
become an integral part of home construction.
The building industry, Nielsen said, is taking a close look
at possible development in conjunction with the plastics industry.
Among the wide variety of present and possible uses are:

Plastic development — add 1
— Plastic sheets similar to the polyethylene food
packaging material, under concrete foundations to protect them
from moisture penetration.
— Plastic piping for water and gas lines to replace cast
iron and copper tubing. Temperature and pressure limitations are
being overcome.
— Plastic tiles for floors and walls, cheaper and more
durable than ceramics, applied by plastic adhesives that set
faster and offer more resistance than other materials.
— Plastic paints which appeal to do-it-yourselfers because
of the ease with which they can be applied.
— Plastic insulation, cut or sawed to desired sizes,
offering superior resistance to heat and cold.
--Plastic foams for mattresses and furniture, covered by
plastic fabrics.
— Plastic furniture, cabinets, and bathroom fixtures.
— Plastic reinforced glass that offers unlimited possibilities
for natural and artificial lighting.
— Plastic prefabricated houses.
Up until World War II, Nielsen pointed out, plastics were
known only by such names as celluloid, bakelite, nylon, and
neoprene. Many people considered the field had realized
complete development .
Much credit for expanded work in the field goes to the
Germans, he said, who were looking for substitutes for materials
whose supply lines had been cut off.
At the same time. Allied research was accelerated, and
from England came the important development of polyethylene, one
of the roost common plastics in use today.
—vnrtr'e*—
Plastic development — add 2
The future now appears to be unlimited. Clothing, tires,
auto parts, car bodies, missile parts, oil pipe lines,
protective coatings — all are possible today.
Tomorrow, Nielsen says, it's a good guess that plastics
will be common where they're not even dreamed of today.

two classes will be offered in 1958, Elliott said.
"Natural Gas Distribution — Fundamentals" will be presented
June 9 through 27, while "Natural Gas Distribution — Selected
Topics" will be offered July 28 through Aug. 15.
The first course will be the basic course, while the
second will be a modified course slanted to meet the specialized
needs of more experienced men in the gas industry.
Other courses to be offered Include: "Natural Gas
Production and Processing," July 7-25; "Natural Gas Transmission,"
June 9-27, and "Natural Gas Fuel Utilization," July 7-25.
Instruction is at the college senior level and covers gas
engineering fundamentals, current problems and practices of the
gas industry, current research, and up-to-date methods and
instruments of measurement and calculation.

Chicago appears to be making progress in its battle for
better air.
The total dustfall average for 1957 was 4.7 per cent lower
than 1956, 4.2 per cent lower than the average for the past 10 years,
and 14.2 per cent lower than the highest dustfall year of the
decade, 1951.
That's the report from Samuel Radner, research chemical
engineer at Armour Research Foundation of Illinois Institute of
Technology, after compiling final dustfall figures for 1957.
An average of 54.4 tons of dust per square mile fell on
the city during the year — ranging from a high monthly average of
89,2 tons in February, to a low of 36 tons in September.
Highest station average for the year was the Loop's
288,5 tons per square mile in December, Lowest reading was 10.9
tons from the collection station at 551 Grant Pi, during August,
Considering the city's dustfall in two five year periods
since 1948, the total reduction is significant, Radner said. The
period from 1948 to 1952 registered an average of 58,6 tons per
square mile, compared with a 55-ton average for the period 1952-57,
The most significant reduction in content of the dustfall
is in the amount of combustible material, Radner pointed out.
This material, usually from improper combustion in heating plants
and automobiles, dropped an average of 1,4 tons during the second
AILED five-year period, he said,

$36,000, according to A . J. Piatt, genera] fund chairman of the
Illinois Tech Alumni Association.
More than 4,000 alumni and friends of Illinois Tech
contributed to a team of 500 IIT alumni who personally solicited
funds throughout the United States.
The Alumni Fund has grown from $50,000 at its inception
in 1942 to its present high. Alumni have contributed more than
$2 million to the IIT development program in the last 16 years.
"Keeping faith with his college is probably one of the
most important things an alumnus can do in these days when the
value of education is becoming even more apparent," said Piatt.
Piatt, an executive of the Balaban & Katz Corp., is a 1917

Chicago began 1958 with an encouraging word on air pollution.
An average of 52.6 tons of dust per square mile fell on the
city during January, lower than both December and January of 1957,
according to Samuel Radner, research chemical engineer at Armour
Research Foundation of Illinois Institute of Technology,
The month's dustfall compared with 66.1 tons for the
preceding month, and 57,3 tons for January of last year, Radner
pointed out ,
January this year had less heating requirements than last
year, and 10 times as many days with snow covering the ground, which
may have helped to effect the decrease, he said.
In dustfall content, the month this year had 18 per cent more
combustible material than it did last year, but only a fifth as many
tars and oils.
The lowest dustfall reading for the month was recorded by
the station at 7350 Pratt Blvd., with 16,9 tons per square mile.

A $5,000 contribution for basic research in chemical engineering
has been presented to Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, by
the Esso Education Foundation, New York, N„ Y.
The grant will be used to study the flow of liquids around
fluid shapes, according to Dr. Ralph E. Peck, chairman of the IIT
chemical engineering department. Dr. Robert C. KJntner, professor
of chemical engineering at IIT, will conduct the research.
Experiments under the grant are expected to reveal new data
about fluid shapes through the use of plastic "bubbles." Kintner
said the plastic will eliminate one variable in the experiments — the
normal movement of fluid on a bubble's outside surface,
Kintner, who began a study of bubble and drop phenomena in
1949, has photographed phenomena in this field which had never before
been recorded. He said the information will be related to what is
now largely empirical, or rule-of- thumb, knowledge in chemical
engineering,

Chicago — Nuclear physicists and rocket specialists may send
man into outer space, but he will need another kind of scientist to
keep him there — alive,
"The sanitary engineer is the man who can keep the space
traveler breathing," said Dr. Linvil G. Rich, associate professor of
civil engineering at Illinois Institute of Technology-
Rich heads the IIT graduate program in sanitation engineering-
which includes courses covering fields from water and air pollution
to disposal of radioactive wastes,
"Reclamation of carbon dioxide — the waste occurring from
human exhalation — will be of vital importance to men in space suits
who cannot carry all the oxygen necessary for them to exist outside
the earth's atmosphere," he explained. "And that's only one of many
problems which will be presented to the sanitation engineer by
space travel,"
More immediate problems here on earth confront the modern
sanitary engineer,
"Although the United States is undoubtedly the cleanest
country in the world in which to live, great strides may be made
in the areas of air pollution, industrial waste treatment, and
public health engineering," Rich said.

Sanitation engineers — add 1
Engineer-scientists equipped to handle any or all of these
problems are being produced by technological institutions such
as IIT, he pointed out,
"However, the shortage of men — and women — in sanitation
engineering today magnifies the country's engineering shortage.
Last year only 80 students throughout the United States received
master's degrees in sanitation engineering," Rich said.
He explained that the lack of sanitation engineers was
caused partially by too-specialized curricula which artificially
narrowed the engineer's ability and lack of knowledge about the
opportunities offered in the field,
A unique program at IIT is slated to produce engineer-
scientists equipped to handle any or all of the modern sanitation
problems. Foundation courses for graduate engineers in the civil
engineering department and for non-engineering graduates in the
biology department teach "the science — not the practice — of
sanitation engineering," according to Rich,
Government aid to sanitation engineering through grants to
the institution and liberal scholarships to the graduate students
have encouraged men and women in the field, he said,

Chicago--Since we already know so much about missiles, why
don*t we have an IRBM or an ICBM?
If we can build a rocket that will travel 600 miles, why not
just build parts a little larger and make a larger rocket?
For one reason, today's large missile system contains a
million and a half parts, and getting them to work together is a
problem of astronomical proportions, says Paul Lieberman, associate
research engineer at Armour Research Foundation of Illinois Institute
of Technology,
A homespun comparison is provided by the electric razor and
the radio, he said. They work well individually, but not together,
"If a rocket were composed of only 500 parts which worked
properly 999 times out of a thousand," he said, "the unit's
probability of success would still be only 6 out of every 10 runs,"
But Lieberman, who lectures on propulsion systems in a
Chicago space travel series being given by Foundation scientists, is
optimistic about rocket development.
The airplane is approaching its last days as the "prima donna"
of the defense system, he believes. Delta wings and needle-nosed
airplanes no longer represent the future,

MAILED: 2/28/58
Rocket development — add 1
"Just as the Model T-Ford, the harbinger of the hot-rod
era, v/as absorbed by tradition, so too, the Mach 2 airplane will lose
its glimmer in the wisp of Mach 15 missiles,"
However, before that day comes, many problems remain to be
solved. Among them, Lieberman lists such items as these:
— For minimum weight, the missile propellant tanks must be
paper-thin, but still withstand loads imposed by the throbbing and
shock forces encountered in ground shipping and free flight,
— Some of the tanks must contain highly corrosive nitric acid,
while others must withstand the contractions caused by liquid oxygen
refrigerated at minus 298 degrees Fahrenheit,
— Powerful turbines must attain tens of thousands of revolutions
per minute in a fraction of a second, while centrifugal and
temperature forces permit but a few minutes lifespan for the turbine.
— Pumps driven by the turbine require high rotational speeds
to move more than a half ton of propellants a second for a large
missile.
— Valve design must be perfect. If there is any error in
timing the accumulation of fuel can cause an explosion,
— Likewise, the system for spraying propellants into the
combustion chamber must be perfect. (And research is hampered by
the $10,000 price tag on a single injector for one large missile
during the development phase when economies of mass production are
not permitted.)
— Heat liberated upon reaction requires that 5600-degree-
Fahrenheit flames be contained by walls that lose their structural
strength at 1200 degrees Fahrenheit, presenting complicated cooling
problems »
-more-
Rocket development — add 2
Put these and many other problems together and you have some
of the headaches of today *s missile makers, Lieberman said.
"While the turbine winds up to thousands of revolutions per
minute, and a half ton of propellants move through the system each
second, 300-pound-per-square-inch pressures appear in the motor
components,"
This sudden surge causes transient vibrations that are violent
enough to shake the rocket to pieces if ttiey are encouraged by the
inherent instability characteristics of the propellant lines, injector,
and chamber, he pointed out.
And adding to this, combustion instability which appeared in
rockets long ago still remains a crucial problem for the rocket
engineer. Combustion in a rocket motor never is perfectly smooth,
he said, and there are a wide variety of pressure fluctuations, a
few of which seem to contain the punch needed to set off a particular
destructive resonant condition.
These are among the reasons why the tasks of developing IRBM
and ICBM missiles have not been overcome, and why it usually takes
six years for a missile to become operational, Lieberman said.
However, it is only a matter of time before the unique problems
of missilework will be solved, and before the dreams of science
fiction writers come true,
"Technically and politically, the climate for development is
proper, and most of us will see the space age in full bloom,"

Chicago — James Cooperman, a research chemical engineer at
Armour Research Foundation of Illinois Institute of Technology, will
head unit operations of the applied chemistry section at the Union
of Burma Applied Research Institute.
Cooperman will join other Foundation personnel who are
fulfilling a contract with the government of the Union of Burma
for the expansion of the Institute at Rangoon. This contract
recently was renewed for two more years.
The Burmese institute was organized in 1947. In 1953,
Armour Research Foundation undertook reorganization and expansion
of the Institute's long-range research and development program
and the formation of the present staff.
Cooperman has had previous international research experience
in Mexico where he directed the development of laboratory processes
for the Institute Mexicano de Investigaciones Tecnologicas in Mexico
City under a Foreign Operations Administration contract with the
Foundation.
Prior to joining Armour Research Foundation in 1952,
Cooperman was associated with U.S. Steel Corp., Universal-Cyclops
Steel, and Southern Natural Gas Co.

Chicago — Developments In very high voltage power transmission
abroad, probably Including Russia, will be described at the 20th
anniversary meeting of the American Power Conference to be held at
the Hotel Sherman, March 26-28.
Dr. Eric T. B. Gross, of Illinois Institute of Technology,
who will preside at a discussion of extra high voltage systems,
said today he expects Russian engineers to attend the conference.
They are expected to present a paper on the use of 400
kllovolt systems In the U. S. S. R., and discuss the development
of transmission at voltages of and above that level.
Dr. Georg V. Boll, Heidelberg, West Germany, chief engineer
of the technical division of the Interconnected German power system
(Deutsche Verbundgesellschaft) operated jointly by nine companies
which produce approximately 75 per cent of the country's total
output, will speak on "The German 400 kv System."
The names of the Russians expected to attend the power
conference and confirmation of their arrival will not be received
until a few days before the meeting. Gross stated.
Two American specialists in very high voltage systems
scheduled to speak at the conference are Ludwig F. Lischer,
production planning engineer, Commonwealth Edison Co., Chicago,
and Julius H. Hagenguth, manager of high voltage research.
General Electric Co., Pittsfield, Mass.
AAILED: 3/10/58 -more-

Power conference — add 1
Lischer will discuss the Edison company 345 kilovolt
interconnection with the American Gas and Electric Co, This is
the highest voltage currently in use in this country.
Hagenguth will talk on "Lightning Performance of High Voltage
Lines . "
American interest in extra high voltage systems stems from the
fact that such systems are capable of more efficient transmission
of larger amounts of power over longer distances than lower voltage
systems .
Gross, a professor of power system engineering at Illinois
Tech, pointed out that power consumption in America doubles
approximately every 10 years, thus increasing the need to transmit
more power from the generating stations to the customers.
"For this reason," he added, "Americans have become more
interested in the development of very high voltage transmission in
Europe where greater progress has been made in this field."
The high voltage systems discussions, scheduled for March 27,
will be among approximately 90 papers to be presented at the
three-day conference.
The papers, mostly of a technical nature, will cover a wide
variety of aspects of the electric power industry and related
activities, including new propellants, economics of fuel transportation,
heating and air-conditioning, industrial power plants, hydro-
electric power generation, and steam and gas turbines.
The American Power Conference is sponsored by Illinois
Institute of Technology in cooperation with 14 other colleges and
universities and nine technical societies.

Chicago — Two research engineers here have come up with a
device that could save millions of dollars annually by preventing
ice damage to piers, docks, and boats during winter months.
They have developed a heat exchanger which this past winter
has completely eliminated ice from an area around a large pier
installation at Lake Geneva, Wis.
The engineers are George E. Gross, administrative supervisor,
and William F. Cramer, Jr., senior engineer, both at Armour Research
Foundation of Illinois Institute of Technology. Their winter project
was an off-hours activity.
Using the principles of heat exchange and the upsetting of
stratification of water required for freezing, the unit they have
developed is inexpensive, portable, and can't be damaged in normal
use.
An added feature is the ability to regulate the direction of
the unit's effectiveness to melt almost any pattern in the ice
needed or desired.
The cost of the initial installation would vary with the
type of protection needed and the size and location of the pier.
Gross said.

Heat exchanger — add 1
A unit similar to the one built for the Lake Geneva pier
would cost about $500 initially, and $16 a year to operate. In
most cases, the initial cost would be far less, and maintainance
costs would be low, according to Gross,
To remove and re-install the pier at Lake Geneva in the usual
manner each fall and spring would cost approximately $1,200 a year,
he said.
The 70-pound pilot unit was put in operation under a pier
belonging to Herbert Johnson, 8333 Niles Center Rd . , Skokie, 111.,
a contractor who plans to make the units available commercially.
The 62-foot long and 12-foot wide pier is located in a corner of
Button's Bay in Lake Geneva.
Gross and Cramer have checked the operation of the unit every
Saturday since ice formed on the lake.
They found that the water surrounding the pier maintained
a temperature of 35 degrees, even through the coldest weather which
reached 20 degrees below zero. At no time were the pier's posts in
danger, Gross said.
With a slight adjustment, they could raise the temperature
to 37 degrees, and they believe it is possible to approach 40
degrees at this location.
At 35 degrees, the unit was operating at only 38 per cent
efficiency. At this rate, they estimated the device compensated for
the freezing of roughly 30,000 pounds of ice in 10 hours.

Nature provides an added advantage to the unit, Gross said.
Because the water around the pier is darker than the surrounding
ice, it absorbs light, causing the heated area to warm itself
naturally.
Gross pointed out that future research on the heat exchanger
has many possibilities. Experiments indicate that a device using
the same principles would be feasible and relatively inexpensive
for keeping Great Lakes locks open the year round.
In fact, it is conceivable that with sufficient research,
employing known methods and combinations, entire ports and shipping
lanes could be kept open in normally ice-bound areas, he said.
Also, lagoons and harbors could be made ice-free for keeping
boats in the water throughout the winter.
The unit would have many applications for emergency use, too,
for keeping areas open where ice forms only during extreme cold
weather.
Gross has applied for patents on the unit.

Chicago — A $150,000, thousand- ton-capacity press for research
and development work on metals has been installed at Armour
Research Foundation of Illinois Institute of Technology.
The press will be used to fabricate certain metals by
extrusion (forcing heated metal through an opening) and press
forging (changing the shape of hot metal by squeezing between two
die faces), according to Orville T. Barnett, assistant manager of
metals research at the Foundation.
Built specifically for ARF by the Hydraulic Press Manufacturing
Co., the press, which weighs 78 tons, will enable metals researchers
to work with alloys that cannot be shaped by rolling or hammer
forging, Barnett said.
Among such alloys are those used in nuclear power engines,
jet engines, missiles, and atomic power reactors.
In addition, the press can be used in fabricating die
materials for forming thin alloy sections needed in aircraft
components, he added.
Beneath the press are a 12-foot extrusion collection pit
and a 32-foot well for collecting longer extrusions, which,
combined, will allow the press to run 40 to 45-foot extrusions,
Barnett said.

The press and extrusion collection pit are supported by four
caissons which extend 53 feet down to hardpan below the ARF
Metals Research Building.
A 350-gaHon oll-nltrogen bottle operating at a working
pressure of 2,200 pounds per square inch is used to operate the
press at full tonage with speeds up to 600 inches a minute.
The press also may be used as a 256,000-pound-capacity
tensile machine capable of adjustable crosshead velocities of
up to 250 inches a minute, Barnett said.
Special electronic controls for the press are being developed
by ARF to provide extreme flexibility for research and development
work,

Chicago — America needs an independent civilian "Institute
for American Strategy" to help counteract communist cold war tactics,
an authority on Russian propaganda methods said here today (Mar. 26).
Its objective, according to Frank R, Barnett, director
of research of the Richardson Foundation, Inc., New York, would
be development of large nvunbers of leaders "who understand the
strategy of the enemy and can articulate the unique values of
American civilization."
Barnett, a trustee of the American Friends of Russian
Freedom, which aids anti-communists who escape to the West, and
former member of the American military government in Berlin, described
the proposed institute and its purposes in an address at the
opening session of the 20th annual American Power Conference at
the Hotel Sherman.
The conference is sponsored by Illinois Institute of
Technology in cooperation with 14 other colleges and universities
and nine technical societies.
The organization's activities, he explained, would be in
support of "educators, professional societies, and business groups
who volunteer for vital jobs of non-military defense in research,
teaching, economic education, communications, and public affairs,"

The program should have the approval of Washington officials,
he said, but should be financed and supervised by bi-partisan,
non- governmental leadership representing all phases of the economy.
One of the institute's first projects, Barnett stated,
might be sponsorship of local seminars on strategy to train key
personnel to cope more effectively with communist political,
economic and psychological warfare, which "is gaining greater
momentum under the shadow of sputnik."
"We train salesmen and surgeons, lawyers and bombadiers,"
the speaker noted, "but we have no academy which prepares Americans
to compete with the professional revolutionaries graduating from
hundreds of communist cold war colleges,"
Americans must concentrate on the "problem of survival"
rather than "welfare," he said.
Warning that the communists, "under the cover of nuclear
blackmail," are stepping up their efforts in propaganda and
economic infiltration, Barnett concluded:
"If the world climate of opinion is mobilized against us
by propaganda, "we will lose our markets, air bases, and access to
strategic raw materials.
"If, here at home, we lose the will to sacrifice or cynically
disregard our spiritual traditions, our physical wealth will not
safeguard American civilization.
"Today, national defense begins at the level of domestic
political morality, the quality of citizenship training for our
youth, and the reputation of American business growth both here
and abroad.
-more-
Barnett address — add 2
"These 'intangibles' are the clear responsibility of private
citizens."
Barnett suggested that industry reappraise its pattern of
philanthropic activities as one means of strengthening ideological
defense, shifting some giving from community welfare to the
"portfolio of national survival."
He also recomjnended more generous giving by industry to
improve American education "if the Soviet challenge is not to
result in eventual federal control of our schools."
During World War II, Barnett was a Russian interpreter for
the American infantry division which met the Russians at the Elbe
in Germany.
Another speaker at the opening session, Dr. Curtis L. Wilson,
dean of the School of Mines and Metallurgy, University of Missouri,
suggested that the electric power utilities provide more consulting
work to faculty members as a means of advancing engineering
education.
He pointed out that there is a growing shortage of college
instructors, and that in many cases differences in salaries paid
by industry and education are the deciding factors.
Wilson expressed the opinion that wider use of engineering
faculty members as consultants on a fee or retainer basis would not
only augment the instructors' earnings, but would increase their
prestige in the eyes of students and direct student attention to
opportunities in the power industry,

Chicago — The electric power industry has plans for spending
some $500 million on nuclear power projects, the head of the
Edison Electric Institute said today (Mar. 26) at a luncheon of
the American Power Conference in the Hotel Sherman.
J. W. McAfee, who also is president of Union Electric Co.,
St. Louis, said three nuclear plants in which utility companies
are participating were completed last year, four others are under
construction, and commitments have been made for two others.
Research currently being conducted is expected to lead to
additional projects, he added.
Approximately $250 million of the planned total will have
been expended by the end of next year, McAfee said.
The figures were cited in an address on problems confronting
the United States and how the electric power industry can contribute
to the solution of those problems.
Approximately 3,000 power company and industrial executives,
engineers, educators, government officials, and others are attending
the three-day 20th anniversary meeting of the American Power Conference
which opened today. The conference is sponsored by Illinois Institute
of Technology in cooperation with a group of colleges, universities
and technical societies.

McAfee address — add 1
The utility executive told the group that 1958 will be
a record year for new construction in the power business with
installation of 16.5 million kilowatts of new generating capacity.
Commenting on current economic conditions, McAfee called
the "inherent stability" of the utility industry a strengthening
factor. He referred to an absence of fluctuations in the level
of employment, a small variation in taxes paid, and steady
purchases of materials, supplies and services as stabilizing
influences ,
The tax bill of the privately owned power companies in 1957
am.ounted to $1.8 billion, of which $1.1 billion went for federal
taxes, he said.
"That will buy a good number of atomic submarines,
rockets, and missiles," he added.
McAfee said also that the power companies are trying to
alleviate a shortage of engineers by employing a higher proportion
of technicians to handle many jobs, by training others to take
over higher technical functions, and by offering higher salaries to
attract more engineers.
He pointed out that starting salaries for engineerng
graduates are higher with the power companies generally than for
industry as a whole,
A survey conducted by a committee of the institute and
other committees in the industry indicated an annual deficit of
some 3,200 engineering graduates until 1960. An eventual annual
deficit of 15,600 engineers can be expected to result from future
advances in mechanization in industry and the home, he added,
-more-
McAfee address — add 2
Concerning the race for international supremacy, McAfee
said the American attitude seems to be that "we must be ahead
in everything," regardless of its practical value or Importance.
"It is possible," he added, "that building a large quantity
of nuclear power capacity would temporarily make an impression
abroad .
"However, the factor which has given us world leadership
is the use of our national resources in the most efficient and
economical manner to attain superiority in ability to produce,
"It has given us the highest standard of living, it has
won our wars, and it is a course which will serve us in the
long-run future."

Chicago The Great Lakes will become, in effect, one of
I the "seas of the world" as a result of improvements in the
Great Lakes-St. Lawrence system, MaJ . Gen. Charles G. Holle,
U. S, Army Engineers, said here today (Mar. 27),
Holle, special assistant to the Chief of Engineers, added
I that the development program holds promise to provide "an impetus
to the growth of the Midwest which stretches the limits of the
imagination, and will affect every interest, every activity, and
every human being in the region."
These predictions were made in an address at a luncheon of
the 20th annual American Power Conference in the Hotel Sherman
attended by power industry officials, engineers, educators,
business and industrial executives, and government officials.
The conference is sponsored by Illinois Institute of
Technology in cooperation with a group of colleges and universities
and professional societies.
Holle cited numerous benefits he expects to derive from the
Great Lakes-St. Lawrence improvement, among them freight savings
in grain exports, increased values of midwestern farm land, the
pulling power on foreign commerce of Chicago and other lake cities
such as Milwaukee, Detroit, Cleveland, and Buffalo, and rapidly
rising consvimption of electrical power.

In describing the Improvement programs carried on by the
Corps of Engineers, Holle stressed the importance of the Calumet-Sag
channel as the connecting link between the Great Lakes and the
Illinois and Mississippi rivers waterway system.
He estimated that when the Calumet- Sag project Is finished,
three times as much — and ultimately six times as much — traffic
will pass through the channel as formerly, and at less cost.
He pointed out that upon completion of the Calumet-Sag,
St, Lawrence Seaway, and other undertakings, the connected inland
waterway system will extend from Mexico to Labrador and from the
Alleghenles to the Great Plains.
Other current projects, Holle said, include enlargement of
the channels in St. Clair river, Lake St, Clair, Detroit river, and
St, Mary's river below the Sault locks at a total estimated cost
of $141 million.
He added that the corps is studying the feasibility of
enlarging about 50 major lake harbors. Interim reports on ten
projects are expected by midsummer, and final reports by 1960, he
said,

Chicago — Air pollution Is costing about $65 a year for
every man, woman, and child living in urban areas.
"We don't know for sure how much air pollution is costing
us," said Dr. Haldon A. Leedy, director of Armour Research
Foundation of Illinois Institute of Technology, "but our
conservative estimate is... about four billion dollars annually,"
Leedy discussed "Air Pollution — Its Control and Legislation"
at the joint luncheon meeting of the American Power Conference
and the Western Society of Engineers today (March 28) in the
Hotel Sherman,
In the Chicago area alone, the cost of air pollution is
estimated at approximately a quarter of a billion dollars
annually, Leedy pointed out. These figures include decorating
and cleaning interior living quarters, cleaning windows, and
cleaning clothing, rugs, curtains, and drapes,
"Unaccountable are such dlff Icult-to-estimate costs as
exterior building damage, painting and cleaning, damage to farm
crops, and taxes for street cleaning and other debris handling,"
he said.

Citing health hazards rising from air pollution, he
revealed that very little is known about the extent of possible
damage to humans due to air pollution.
"It is one aspect of air pollution where extensive medical
and scientific research is urgently needed," the research
director stated.
One of the largest single contributors to air pollution
is automobile exhaust and incomplete combustion of fuels.
"It is estimated that in the Chicago area alone, 300 to
400 tons of unconsumed hydrocarbons are being discharged into the
atmosphere every day," Leedy said.
Other causes include smoke from apartment chimneys,
improper firing of furnaces, discarding of waste paper, piling up
of debris in backyards and alleys, and industrial dust.
Chicago has long been one of the foremost leaders in air
pollution control, according to Leedy. In 1881, Chicago became
the first major city in the country to enact a smoke abatement
ordinance.
"This ordinance is outmoded considering today's requirements
and problems in air pollution control," Leedy said.
In 1951 a group of Chicago area industrial, technical, civic,
and municipal leaders decided to do something about it. They
formed the Midwest Air Pollution Prevention Association, known as
MAPPA, Its purpose was, and is, to foster the control of local
air pollution through research, engineering, and education.
-more-
Leedy address — add 2
Working very closely with, and at the request of, the
Chicago Department of Air Pollution Control, MAPPA presented an
exhaustive report and set of recommendations to the city. The
basic technical work was done by Armour Research Foundation,
with the assistance of a MAPPA committee consisting of representatives
of major Chicago industry groups. Much further work was required
to translate these recommendations into the present legal form
of the proposed Chicago air pollution control ordinance.
The proposed ordinance now is under consideration by a
joint Chicago City Council committee on health, zoning, and
building. Public hearings on this ordinance already have started,
"In its present form, I think the proposed ordinance is
technically and economically sound," stated Leedy,
"It is as effective as can be expected for our present
level of knowledge in air pollution," he said, "but one of its
best features is the emphasis on what isn't known,
"The provision for further research and study on all the
ramifications of air pollution lays the groundwork for further
improvements in the basic ordinance as we go along,"

Chicago — Ever have a difficult time deciding whether to
buy a new family car or keep the old jalopy?
*'A wrong guess may cause us to say, 'We'll know better
next time'," said Dr, Gerald J, Matchett, director of education and
research in dynamic equipment at Illinois Institute of Technology,
"But when the decision involves replacing an obsolete factory with
a new one, a guess isn't good enough."
The Dynamic Equipment Policy Center at Illinois Tech
educates businessmen — ranging from company presidents to equipment
salesmen — in scientifically buying and replacing industrial
equipment ,
"These men are vitally interested in timing. They need to
know when rising operating costs make it profitable for a company
to replace old equipment," Matchett said,
"At I IT, they learn, through the application of simple
fozmulas, to determine at which point their plant is operating most
efficiently," he added, "We also show them the techniques for
choosing the new equipment which best suits their needs,"

Huge corporations as well as small machine shops have sent
representatives to the IIT center since the program was started
in 1953, Matchett explained that the instructors in the 16-week
evening course do not recommend solutions to specific problems—
they give the men the foundation for making their own decisions.
Guest lecturers from companies throughout the United
States present their views and experiences with capital goods
replacement and equipment purchasing during the course period,
"The demand for good equipment analysts in this country
contributes to the shortage of trained technological personnel,"
added Matchett, "Graduate students in industrial engineering,
electrical engineering, and business and engineering administration
attend the equipment policy course as part of their preparation
for a master's degree,"
More than 190 men have enrolled in the course during the
five years it has been available. The program is co-sponsored by
the IIT business and econcMnlcs department, the Machinery and
Allied Products Institute (MAPI), and the Council for Technological
Advancement »

Chicago — In history books, 1958 will go down as the year
that man penetrated outer space.
In science books, it could well be the year that man first
penetrated international boundaries for his common good.
This is the International Geophysical Year. I-G-Y are
the magic initials for the world's greatest cooperative effort
since time began, believes C. Charles Miesse, supervisor of
combustion research at Armour Research Foundation of Illinois
Institute of Technology,
"For the first time in recorded history, all of the
civilized nations are working together on one aim — knowing more
about the Earth," he said.
While there exists rivalry in the satellite race and there
are ominous military overtones of a space advantage, the avowed
purpose of IGY itself is completely devoid of either political
intrigue or military strategy, Miesse said.
In the sheer excitement of a Jupiter or a Vanguard soaring
skyward, the reasons for orbiting satellites are easily forgotten,
he pointed out.
-more-
MAILED: 3/28/58
Geophysical year — add 1
The over-all IGY objective is the exploration and measurement
of all the large-scale aspects of the Earth, the major land and
sea areas, the core and crust, the deep ocean currents, the tides,
weather and climate, high atmosphere, and surrounding space.
One of the reasons this particular period was chosen for
these studies is that this is a time when activity on the sun,
which has great effect on meteorological conditions, is expected
to reach a maximum, he stated.
What will the IGY studies achieve? Miesse expects them to
have much more than academic interest. Here are some of the areas
in which scientists hope to gain knowledge;
— Radio communications. The studies should improve
knowledge of the electrified layers of air high above the earth
(from about 40 miles to 400 miles) which reflect radio waves.
For many years, it has been known that disturbances in these
layers and consequent breakdown of long-range communications,
coincide with disturbances on the sun,
— Glaciology, One per cent of the world's water supply
is locked in the thick ice fields which cover one-tenth of the
Earth's surface. Since there seems to be a trend towards a warmer
climate, shipping in presently ice-locked ports of the far north,
and, conceivably, flooding of important coastal cities are
possibilities that should be considered,
— Meteorology, Although three-quarters of the Earth's surface
is water, efforts have so far failed to produce any appreciable
change in the distribution of rainfall,
-more-
Geophysical year — add 2
One of the great hopes of the IGY Is that the mechanics of
weather, and the grand cycle which carries water from ocean to
to atmosphere to land and back again, can be better understood,
— The shape and size of the Earth, still not accurately
known. In experiments with satellites, scientists hope to discover
the strength of the Earth's gravitational pull in remote, uncharted
areas, and hence the corresponding crustal mass, by measuring the
slight distortions made on the satellite's orbit,
— Cosmic rays. The mysterious particles that constantly
bombard our world from outer space have energies far greater than
ever produced by man.
Little is known about them or their origin. Investigation
of cosmic rays before they are filtered and absorbed by the Earth's
atmosphere should provide valuable understanding of the
underlying nature of matter.
These are some of the reasons why satellites are "up there,"
The information they are relaying to the nations of the world are
providing a powerful springboard for the ccxning of the Space Age,
Miesse said.
